Especially if they're people who won't vote Lib Dem on tuition fees, but will apparently vote for the party that did a lot more to make tuition fees what they are today (introduced them, increased them when they promised not to, and then commissioned the report that this government used for their increase).
Haven't Labour always had the majority of the student vote?
IMHO that's going to be the Clegg Curse for the Libdems he promised so much went so Over the top and broke all the promises Either Labour or the Greens are going to clean up
We coukd always,borrow more in 4 years,than we did previous 13, as pointed out on Question time last night by Hasan
Unfortunately Yes. The young are invariably, naive and impressionable.
Little Ed would probably like to lower the voting age to 12.
Far be it from me to defend the Libdems, but isn't that largely down to the fact that people can't quite grasp that they didn't actually win the election. The fact that they are the minority partner in a coalition does not entitle them to implement every policy from their manifesto - particularly when a policy is the opposite of their coalition partners and wasn't even the policy of the the party which came second.
i really am genuinely amazed at how many people seem to think that the LibDems ever should or could have gone ahead with their tuition fee plans when they didn't win the election, didn't even come second, and it wasn't in the coalition agreement.
This government have saved the Country. The Libdems should be thanked, not castigated.
Well it'll be my first time voting this year, I'm 18 and will vote Labour.
Well, for lots of ordinary people they haven't.
point proven?
Yep, which religions have also relied on since humans came up with them.
Perhaps we should keep the voting age at 18 and raise the age at which people are introduced to religions to that age too? We could then spend the years previous to that helping them develop their critical thinking skills. I think we'd have a much better political system if we did that and fewer fundamentalists.
Yes, because the socialists managed to wipe 25% of the nations GDP
Exactly millions are taking home more of the money that they have earned thanks to the LibDems.
A bit harsh.
Someone was talking of early indoctrination, I had to fold thousands on Liberal leaflets for Bob-a-job when I was young, it didn't work on me.
Your contempt for the electorate is repulsive.
If that were the case they'd fall for the right wing media PR machine, and Tory propaganda blanket that smothers pretty much any noise coming from elsewhere in this country.
The propaganda and media in this country is seriously weighted toward the right.
They see right through it though.
whereas the pubescent will believe anything
I am a 20-something and what I said appears to be true. I know a number of people who don't like Clegg because of tuition fees, so they'll vote Labour out of sheer ignorance.
And no, I am not going to vote for Labour - I'm not that delusional
Little Ed? What a silly post. Reminds me why I don't get into any debates on these forums anymore.
it's just because there are two prominent Labour politicans called Ed. So you have Miliband who is Little Ed, and then there is Ed Balls.....
(sigh)
